And as for the symbols present - well they run the range from the Aurora and the Winter Palace/Hermitage to Sputnik, so I'd say it is crammed with important images. Really good looking medal.:thumbsup My small collection of these types of medals is a bit one-sided.:rolleyes: Here's one of the latest. It is for the 70th anniversary of the KGB in Lvov, but I really like it more because of the ingenious plastic case it came in. You take the medal out, flip the case over and insert the medal into the slot and you have a stand. I'll post the 50th anniversary from the same location later (the pictures didn't come out right). These were rather large compared to most table medals (in my experience) - 8-9cm diameter and 1-2cm thick aluminum. The last picture is of the medal in its case with the clear plastic cover on - which is why it looks unclear. Phillip

Re: Soviet Desk/Table medals - is there a place for them?
Here they come. I'm not sure who was the designer, probably it's his initials on the medals. But for sure you always can say they were made by MDs, cos of their quality and charm.
the right one is remembrance for earthquake 1988, the left one is for guys from Musa Ler 1915 those were going for something like $20 with a big medallion for Yerevan's(capital) 1750 birthday and I just couldn't resist it. Andreas if you will have a little time, would you do me a favour please, check in you amassing book , who is the designer. PS. No it's not a nazi eagle :D Armenians using eagle as symbol of country for a long time.

Re: Soviet Desk/Table medals - is there a place for them?
Here is my new one. Commemorative for the Brest's Castle heroes. The first resistance to nazi blitz-krig.
It's a shame that medal is aluminium, but I got just because I like the history of Brest. It's 75mm in diameter and I like the artists work. It says 'We will die, but won't live the castle' actual script written on the castle by one of the defenders. They kept this promise.
